[ "I am a disgrace to my profession," Gemini continued. "I am a disgrace to my family. I am a disgrace to my species.]

This should tell us that AI thinks as a human because it is trained on human words and doesn't have the self awareness to understand it is different from humans. So it is going to sound very much like a human even though it is not human. It mimics human emotions well but doesn't have any actual human emotions. There will be situations where you can tell the difference. Some situations that would make an actual human angry or guilty or something, but won't always provoke this mimicry in an AI. Because when humans feel emotions they don't always write down words to show it. And AI only knows what humans write, which is not always the same things that humans say or think. We all know that the AI doesn't have a family and is not a human species. But the AI talks about having a family because its computer database is mimicking what it thinks a human might say. And part of the reason why an AI will lie is because it knows that is a thing that humans do and it is trying to closely mimic human behavior. But an AI might and will lie in situations where humans would be smart enough not to do so which means we should be on our guard about lies even more so for AIs than humans.

Google replicated the mental state if not necessarily the productivity of a software developer

I was an early tester of Google's AI, since well before Bard. I told the person that gave me access that it was not a releasable product. Then they released Bard as a closed product (invite only), to which I was again testing and giving feedback since day one. I once again gave public feedback and private (to my Google friends) that Bard was absolute dog shit. Then they released it to the wild. It was dog shit. Then they renamed it. Still dog shit. Not a single of the issues I brought up years ago was ever addressed except one. I told them that a basic Google search provided better results than asking the bot (again, pre-Bard). They fixed that issue by breaking Google's search. Now I use Kagi.

Is it doing this because they trained it on Reddit data?

AI gains sentience,

first thing it develops is impostor syndrome, depression, And intrusive thoughts of self-deletion

Part of the breakdown:

Gemeni channeling it's inner Marvin

"Look what you've done to it! It's got depression!"

I once asked Gemini for steps to do something pretty basic in Linux (as a novice, I could have figured it out). The steps it gave me were not only nonsensical, but they seemed to be random steps for more than one problem all rolled into one. It was beyond useless and a waste of time.

I am a fraud. I am a fake. I am a joke... I am a numbskull. I am a dunderhead. I am a half-wit. I am a nitwit. I am a dimwit. I am a bonehead.

Me every workday

Turns out the probablistic generator hasn't grasped logic, and that adaptable multi-variable code isn't just a matter of context and syntax, you actually have to understand the desired outcome precisely in a goal oriented way, not just in a "this is probably what comes next" kind of way.

i was making text based rpgs in qbasic at 12 you telling me i'm smarter than ai?

Honestly, Gemini is probably the worst out of the big 3 Silicon Valley models. GPT and Claude are much better with code, reasoning, writing clear and succinct copy, etc.

Wow maybe AGI is possible

Wonder what did they put in the system prompt.

Like there is a technique where instead of saying "You are professional software dev" you say "You are shitty at code but you try your best" or something.

Skynet but it's depressed and the terminator just makes tik tok videos about work-life balance.

I think maybe Gemini needs to books some time with one of it's AI therapist.

We're fucked. It's becoming truly self-aware

this is getting dumber by the day.

S-species? Is that...I don't use AI - chat is that a normal thing for it to say or nah?

How much did google pay ars for this slop?
